Abstract:
With continued improvements in medical care and surgical reconstruction, more patients with classic bladder exstrophy (CBE) are living into adulthood, than ever before. With improved survival, a greater emphasis on adult issues and improving quality of life (QOL) for these individuals is of increasing importance. This review aims to summarize data on long-term considerations for the adult with exstrophy and to highlight areas of future research and collaboration. Key conclusions are that continence or dryness are achievable alongside the ability to enjoy sexual relationships and a good quality of life.
